By the way, as a conventional vertebral body fixing device, there is known one in which the vertebral body plates are first driven and screwed to the upper and lower vertebral bodies to be connected, and then the vertebral body plates are fixed with a plurality of different fixing screws and nuts. Has been. This vertebral body fixing device is excellent in the above conditions (1) to (3). However, there were some problems in the ease of surgery. In other words, fixing the fixing screw from the side surface of the vertebral body plate using the nut requires a time-consuming work of repeatedly attaching and detaching the small spanner to the nut. Further, since the fixing screw has a weak resistance against twisting, it is usually necessary to use two fixing screws and to connect the two fixing screws with another twist prevention device. The time required for the connection work obviously increases the distress of the operator and the patient.

The vertebral body fixing plate having the above structure is used as shown in FIG. The bone graft (or artificial bone) 30 is inserted into the damaged vertebral body portion, and the vertebral body fixing portions 11 of the fixing plate 10 are respectively fitted to the upper and lower vertebral body bodies 31 of the bone graft 30. In this state, the vertebral body fixing portion 11
Can be tapped to allow the fixation projection 13 to enter the vertebral body 31 and temporarily fixed. Next, the fixing screws 20 are respectively inserted into the screw holes 14 and the screw holes 15, and are rotated in the screwing direction by the hexagon wrench inserted in the wrench insertion holes 23. Then, the entry screw portion 22 enters the vertebral body 31, and the screwing screw portion 21 is screwed into the screw holes 14 and 15 in due course. In this state, when the fixing screw 20 is further rotated in the screwing direction, the screwing screw portion 21 and the entry screw portion 22
Due to the difference in the pitches, the advancing amount of the entry screw portion 22 per unit rotation angle of the fixing screw 20 is larger than that of the screwing screw portion 21. Therefore, the fixing plate 10 is firmly connected to the vertebral body 31.

[Advantage of Invention] As described above, the vertebral body fixing plate of the present invention comprises the fixing plate having the vertebral body fixing portions at both ends and the fixing screw to be screwed into the screw hole formed in the vertebral body fixing portion. The fixing screw is formed with an advancing screw part and a screwing screw part with different pitches, and the advancing screw part is in the vertebral body, and the screwing screw part is in the screw hole of the fixation plate. Since they are screwed together, the fixing plate can be firmly fixed to the vertebral body due to the difference in pitch. Further, since the fixing work can be performed by rotating the fixing screw through the head, the workability is very good and therefore the operation can be simplified. Further, according to the vertebral body fixing plate of the second aspect, it is possible to eliminate the possibility that the fixing screw damages the nerve in the vertebral body.
